"I would not stay here again. Although well located, on arriving at the property, we found the toilet seat to be broken and the handwash in the bathroom was diluted soapy water which rendered it useless and disgusting. The security light outside the front door was not working and the shower was dangerously ..."…"

One concern we had was the wifi, as neither of us was able to connect, but we didn't stick around long enough to worry about it, as we had a city to explore. If we had asked the front desk staff, I'm sure they would have helped us out. …
